Along with clinical sciences, osteopathy skills and business
management principles, I also want my students to be well versed in life
improvement skills. I spent a good portion of my lectures on self improvement
topics. Your thoughts make your reality. Improving your brain improves your
thoughts and brings you closer to achieving your goals. It takes five minutes a
day of meditation to improve your brain, decrease stress, improve health, and
increase your focus and creativity. To make it even more effective do the
meditation outside in nature. Nature is the key to creativity. And creativity
is a key to success.

We are growing so fast thanks to you all! We now have over 45,000 Facebook fans for National Academy of Osteopathy & National University of Medical Sciences. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

This is an epic journey we partook 3 years ago with NAO and last year with NUMSS. In such a short time we made history. Broke so many records, and became the largest, best and most popular osteopathic schools in the world. While most schools have under 1000 fans, we have over 45,000 and growing everyday!

You are the reason behind our success and we promise to continue bringing innovative, unique & affordable osteopathic education.

National University of Medical Sciences (NUMSS) received approved to
participate in the osteopathy outreach program of Havana, Cuba, that was
established in 2012 by the National Academy of Osteopathy.

Two NUMSS graduates of the DO program and 2 graduates of the BSc
(osteopathy) are permitted to provide a month long free osteopathic
treatments to Cubans in a polyclinic setting. This introduces the Cuban
population to osteopathy while also providing an excellent training to
new graduates.

Cuba has cultivated a large and resourceful
network of health practitioners, which is made possible thanks to the
well-designed academic practices and the constant commitment of its top
six medical universities to the improvement of healthcare professionals.
The healthcare system in Cuba is made up of 60 different specialties.
Fifty one of these specialities are medical (including physiotherapy
& natural medicine), with five dental, three nursing and one for
psychology. There are no private healthcare facilities in Cuba and all
healthcare professionals are employees of the government.

Once again National University of Medical Sciences became
the most popular osteopathic school in the world by surpassing National Academy
of Osteopathy. We now have 20,459 Facebook fans compared to 20,424 fans for
NAO.

This is amazing. In our wildest dreams we could not imagine
NUMSS to become so popular in less than a year of opening.

Majority of self employed people I know are really
technicians & managers who registered a business, not true entrepreneurs.

Three people run a business, a technician, a manager and the
entrepreneur. The technician does the actual day to day work of the business,
the manager runs the business and the main duty of the entrepreneur is to come
up with ideas on how to expand the business.

If you are managing your business, or doing the technical
work, then you are not a true self employed businessperson.

Learn to delegate. Your brain should focus on how to expand
your business, not on running it. Your business has to work for you not the
other way around.

When your work becomes more important that your family or
your health, you are not delegating enough!

We are glad to announce that the University Board of Directors has
approved our request to add new degree programs to the National
University of Medical Sciences, the largest most affordable osteopathic university in the world.

The following 26 Master’s and PhD degrees have been approved and we
will be accepting students soon. We will update our website and the
academic calendar within a week or two so please visit our website to
get more detail about any of these programs.

With the addition
of these 26 degree programs, NUMSS will be offering 30 degree programs;
a bachelor of science in osteopathy, a master of arts, a master of
business administration, a Doctor of Osteopathy, 3 PhD’s, and 23 master
of science degrees.

Yes. There is no difference between online and campus based education.
In some ways the online education is even superior to the campus based
because students have the ability to pause the
lectures and watch any techniques over and over again. Many successful
osteopaths are practicing around the world who studied osteopathy
through an online on-demand program. The professions of osteopathy,
chiropractic, athletic therapy, massage therapy, physiotherapy and even
medicine and dentistry have offered at one time or another
correspondence courses. With the technology NUMSS uses students feel
they are sitting in a classroom watching the lectures. They have also
the ability to email NUMSS at any time and ask any academic questions
they may have. Some universities in United Kingdom have started offering
medical specialty courses such as orthopedic surgery to Medical Doctors
through online programs, and some universities in the USA offer masters
program in nursing through online lectures. As technology advances
delivering high quality videos become easier and permits students
worldwide to watch the lectures easily and comfortably. And more
universities are embracing the online teaching as it eliminates the need
for campus attendance and enables education to be spread
internationally.

Osteopathic Sports Energy Technique (SET)
developed by Dr Shahin Pourgol, a professor of National University of
Medical Sciences & National Academy of Osteopathy, is a form of
advanced osteopathic technique designed to improve athletic performance
by increasing speed. This is achieved by working on the fast twitch type
IIb skeletal muscle fibres. Athletes can achieve dramatic increase in speed often after the first session. They can run, kick, jump or punch faster often after doing the first set of S.E.T. techniques.

Muscle tissue consists of fibres (cells) that are highly specialized
for the active generation of force for contraction. Because of this
characteristic, muscle tissue provides motion, maintenance of posture,
and heat production. Based on certain structural and functional
characteristics, muscle tissue is classified into three types: cardiac,
smooth and skeletal. Based on various structural and functional
characteristics, skeletal muscle fibres are classified into three types:
Type I fibres, Type II b fibres and type II a fibres.

Type IIb
fibres, also called fast twitch or fast glycolytic fibres; contain a
low content of myoglobin, relatively few mitochondria, relatively few
blood capillaries and large amounts glycogen. Type II b fibres are
white, geared to generate ATP by anaerobic metabolic processes, not able
to supply skeletal muscle fibres continuously with sufficient ATP,
fatigue easily, split ATP at a fast rate and have a fast contraction
velocity. Generally people are born with an average of 50% slow and 50%
fast twitch fibres. Sprinters with proper training change this ratio to
80% fast twitch fibres in the leg muscles while marathon runners change
the ratio with advanced training to 80% slow twitch fibres in the lower
limbs muscles.

Because fast twitch fibers use anaerobic
metabolism to create fuel, they are much better at generating short
bursts of strength and speed than slow muscles. However, they fatigue
more quickly. Fast twitch fibers generally produce the same amount of
force per contraction as slow muscles, but they get their name because
they are able to fire more rapidly. Having more fast twitch fibers can
be an asset to athletes since they need to quickly generate a lot of
force.

The
average osteopathy program of most universities cost between $12,000 to
$49,000 per year.

National University of Medical Sciences tuition is
3000 Euro per year, the lowest tuition of all osteopathic universities.
We kept the tuition low on purpose to make the osteopathic education to
all students worldwide. We want osteopathy to expand internationally.

Dr Shahin Pourgol, president of NUMSS and NAO
wishes to congratulate his long time friend, honourable Dr Reza Moridi, a
Member of the Provincial Parliament from Richmond Hill, for being
chosen the new Minister of Research & Innovation in Ontario, Canada.

Honourable Dr Moridi was the first Iranian to become an MPP in Ontario
(Canada) and now he is the first Iranian to become a member of the
Ontario provincial government. Dr Pourgol and all other Iranians in
Canada are quite proud of this historic moment.

National University of Medical Sciences is happy to announce that its
Master of Science in Clinical Ergonomics has just been accredited by the
Human Factors & Ergonomics Society (USA). All MSc (CE) students are now eligible for membership to HFES.

The MSc in Clinical Ergonomics has quickly become one of the most popular degree programs for our students.

Clinical Ergonomics offers a new income source for health
professionals, and it is quite lucrative as on average insurers and
unions pay $2,500 per patients to health practitioners to keep their
members healthy at work and to decrease chance of work related injuries.
